WTF do these have to do with the toon? Go blog somewhere else.My understanding of the Indians’ history is that the team name came from respect for a Native American who played for Cleveland in the early years. Can anyone shed light on this?BTW: An Irish immigrant ranting against others, since politics was injected, is the Pee Wee Hermann ’I know you are, but what am I?" equivilance.
My father’s mother was an Arapaho from Colorado. She grew up in an era that being a Native American or African American was, to say the least, not easy.

Do I find the Cleveland logo offensive ? Yes
Do I find the Washington football teams name offensive? YES
I don’t, however, find the name Cleveland Indians, nor the Wash. team logo offensive in the least.
Others may disagree but I While I find Washington’s name pejorative, the team logo is evocative of bravery and fighting spirit. Cleveland’s logo, on the other hand is downright racial !
